Updated the forum software

[bjarne]

Everything should be working as normal

Just applied the latest, minor, update.

Thanks for your work. I suppose if it is all functioning properly we will never notice the difference?

Yup, as said it's minor update. So mostly relates to security fixes/bugs.

I've already noticed minor changes, mostly asthetics. Hopefully the update sorted the vanishing posts you sometimes get, it would have been nice for a few new emoticons, too.

Based on mails I received from users having trouble signing up, I have fixed a flaw that occurred (as a result of moving the site to it's own server).

The captcha image was not being generated due to a missing software library.

Hmm. I've not been getting e-mail notifications... since the update. Is it just me... or?

 

[Sci-Fi]

Now that you mention it...neither have I. Didn't really notice cause I only get them when I receive PM's so I don't often check that email since I'm always here anyway lol. Just sent a PM and received a response but no notification was in my email.

^Phew, okay I don't feel so alien with this problem now. Hopefully it can be fixed. :\

 

[bjarne]

I hope emails are working again (I removed the default mail sender software and installed at much simpler one). I am very surprised that that was broken out of the box:-(

 

[ladyforsaken]

It's working again for me, thanks bjarne!

 

[bjarne]

The forum was down again shortly this morning for another security update.

 

[nerdygirl]

Thank you for all that you do, bjarne. You rock.

 

[bjarne]

Switched the forum to use the harder to crack recaptcha service instead of the default mybb captcha. This should limit the amount of spam bots successfully creating accounts.

 

[ladyforsaken]

Thank you, bjarne.

 

[Sci-Fi]

Woo Hoo That should be less to pick through each day.

Keep your finger crossed Sci-Fi. In the last two and a half hours there has been one. Typically we would average about 25 in that time period.

So many.... :O

 

[Sci-Fi]

Fingers, toes, anything I can cross is crossed. No more 200+ per day sounds so nice.

Oh LadyF you have no idea...so...many...spammers...some are really clever too, and some just smash their digital face on the keyboard creating accounts.

 

[Minus]

So many.... :O

Was averaging about 10 an hour.
